Foho Chianti Classico Riserva 2015

Ruby red in appearance with garnet highlights, Foho Chianti Classico Riserva is an intense and complex red wine. Notes of wild berries, crushed violet and spiced wood form the nose. The smooth and elegant palate offers flavours of marasca cherry, cranberry, star anise and crushed herbs that lead into a long and warming finish with fine tannins.
Since 1990 the Gioffreda family has invested energy and passion into Casa al Vento, in the area of Gaiole in Chianti (Siena), in order to give the property its former prestige. In more recent years a new challenge has emerged with the development of wine and olive oil production and the growth of Sangiovese, Merlot and Alicante Bouchet grapes. The vines spring up on the steep slopes of the hills that surround the Borgo, at around 450 metres above sea level, embraced by the sun and caressed by the breeze.

They use environmentally-friendly production techniques and great care is taken to preserve the quality of the grapes, from the pruning of the vines to the selection of the grapes on the selection table.

The wine cellar is an authentic jewel of rural architecture. Nestled in the hilly landscape, its heart is the fermentation room, made up of stainless steel tanks and oak barrels that store about 400 hectoliters in temperature-controlled surroundings. The vaulted barrel cellar contains 90 barrels of French oak for the wine to mature.
